Episode 3-4: Octavinelle

Meanwhile at the hall of mirrors, everyone with anemones on their heads are muttering and shuffling through the halls to the entrance to Octavinelle dorm.

"This is... the Hall of Mirrors that connects to all dorms." Jack mutters.

"Yup..." Glory said as her eyes shifts to the Octavinelle dorm where she stares at the entrance with a grimace before letting out a sigh.

This is going to be a pain in the ass....

Glory thought with a discomfort look.

"I totally thought I'd make it into the top this time!" The Heartslabyul student mutters.

"Damnit, he tricked me! That cheating octopus bastard!" The Savanaclaw student seethes.

"This totally ruins my school life!!" The Scarabia student rants. Soon everyone starts crying, shouting, and ranting about their results and Azul.

"What the?! There's a whole bunch of the other guys besides three idiots with anemones on their heads!" Jack shrieks.

"Looks like everyone else is in a pickle just like those three stooges..." She mumbles.

"There's some 2nd and 3rd years too. And they're all heading to the mirror for Octavinelle dorm." Jack informs.

"Which is exactly where we are headed." She implies.

And where my nightmare starts to come true....

Glory ponder grimacing at the thought of meeting Azul and the twins again.

"Let's go." Jack insists and Glory nods as the duo follows after the students to the Octavinelle dorm where they teleport to the mirror taking them to Octavinelle where it's an oceanic vibe.

"Holy moly! It's so gorgeous! It look like it came straight out of Ursula's cave!!" Glory chirps with grey eyes sparkling as she lets out a squeal.

"This will look so good for photography for sure!!" Glory glees admiring and giddying over their dorm's exterior esthetic where bubbles floating everywhere. Now that's what Glory calls picture perfect.

"You kidding me! Night Raven College is amazing!" Jack chirps with his ears perk up and tail wagging in excitement. Glory notices and covers her mouth where she muffles a giggle at how cute Jack is right now. Soon he flinches and clears his throat as he strokes the back of his head trying to act tough.

"...We're taking a step into another dorm's territory. Don't get distracted and keep your guard up." Jack reminds her as Glory rolls her eyes with a grin.

"Right." Glory replies as the duo head straight inside the entrance where Glory became awe at the aquatic like esthetics.

"Waaaah!! Beautiful! It's like I'm in an aquarium!" Glory squeals as she pulls out her phone and took a picture of the coral reefs, kelp, waterwheel plants, red algae, sea anemones, and so much more.

"Oi Wildcat, focus." Jack reminds.

"Sorry." Glory apologizes as she puts her phone away in her backpack and they head straight after the students.

Near the back, the twins were spying on them this entire time.

"Kyaaah! My Lionfish is here! She looks so adorable as always!" Floyd glees while smiling like a child.

"Yes. I'm quite as pleased as you are Floyd. Now let's tell Azul about our beautiful siren." Jade informs.

"Hai.~" Floyd complies as he and Floyd slither their way down to the V.I.P room and meet up with their dorm head.

"Azul, Angelfish has arrived as you expected." Jade informs and Azul smirks in satisfaction.

"Excellent." He replies.

"Ne, ne, does that mean we get to capture her again? Cuz I really want to hug my Lionfish.~" Floyd coos with a pout.

"Patience Floyd. We must entertain our guests right now." He reassures as Azul puts his fedora on and adjusts his glasses with a sly smirk.

"We should meet our guests right about now. ~fufufu~." He informs letting out a low chuckle.

"Understood, Azul." Jade bows his head with a polite grin.

"Hai.~" Floyd coos with a chilling cheery smile as the trio went out of the V.I.P room to meet with their guests at the Mostro Lounge as well as their precious siren.

Once they arrived at a cafe, the whole cafe is already packed with angry students with anemones on their heads as Glory and Jack sit at their table.

"Jesus this place is packed with people!" Glory gasps.

"100...No, looks closer to 200 people. But what is this place? Looks like a cafe..." Jack mutters.

"Mostro Lounge." Glory said causing the wolf to turn his head to her with his brows curled.

"You know this place?" He ask curiously.

"Twice yes, but...This is the first time coming here and I have to say, I like the relaxing environment that this cafe has. It looks like a fancy restaurant and the sea esthetics fits perfectly well in this cafe. Though I also heard this place is known for its expensive prices..." Glory mutters while gazing at the sea botanical environment.

"Mostro Lounge?...I never heard of this place before. Where'd Ace and the other go?" He ask curiously.

"Hmm..." Glory hums as she spins her head to search for her trio of friends until the lights turn off for a second until a spotlight lit up presenting Octavinelle's Head Dorm, Azul Ashengrotto.

"Well well. You poor, unfortunate souls who couldn't make into the top 50 for test scores. Welcome to Mostro Lounge." Azul presents showing his suave charms that makes Glory rolling her eyes and shakes her head at the shady head dorm.

I can't believe I have to see him again along with the twins....

Glory ponders while grimacing at the the Head Dorm as he tilts his head slightly to the left.

"I am sure you all are more than well aware of who I am, but allow me to introduce myself again. I am Azul Ashengrotto. I am the dorm head of Octavinelle, the boss of Mostro Lounge, and..."

Annnnnnd cue the twisted greedy smile that he shows.

"The man who will be your master from this day on." Azul proclaims with a twisted smile.

"Now there's the Azul that I know." Glory sarcastically snarks.

"...What now?" Jack mutters couldn't believe what he's hearing as his wolf ears perk slightly upwards and starts analyzing the situation.

"You all challenged me and lost. In accordance with the contract, from now until you graduate, I will have you work yourselves to the bone as my servants." Azul informs.

"Hold up. This is a straight up fraud!" Ace rants.

"You've definitely got the words out of my mouth, Ace." Glory mutters agreeing with him.

"I believe you are the first year, Ace Trappola. Calling it 'fraud' is rather rude. The notebook I gave you as part of the contract should have had a perfect plan for taking the tests." Azul informs as he adjusts his glasses.

"If you followed it to the letter you should have had no problem scoring over 90 points." He assures.

"Yeah. You're right, I got a 92!" Ace told him.

"That's wonderful! I'm overjoyed that it was of use to you." Azul chirps grimacing Glory when he said it in a fake joyful tone.

Overjoyed my ass...

Glory thought with rage swirling in her mind as she clench her fist against the table, but also compresses her anger towards the swindling Dorm Head trying to remain composed while Jack stayed silent as he is glaring at him.

"But I didn't hear anything about you handling that notebook over to this many people!" Ace rants.

"Ace is right on the money." Deuce agrees.

"There's no way we'd all make it into the top 50 if you gave out this many notebooks!" Deuce scolds at him.

"If this many people score over 90 then scoring 85 doesn't change my position at all from when I was failing!" Grim chides.

"Do you know of the concept of 'duty of confidentiality'?" Azul ask curiously.

" 'I want to easily get a high score', 'I don't want my grades to drop', 'I want to spend my time until the test having fun'." He list them all.

"The idiots-no." Azul then clears his throat.

"Everyone- who relied on me has their own reasons for doing so but...Who made a contract for what reasons and under what conditions...Are all deeply connected to an individual's privacy that I can't simply go around revealing to others, no?" He questions them.

"I am a very honest man." Azul reassures with the fakest smile ever.

"Look at page 127 of the contract and you'll see the clause about confidentiality. I am simply upholding that." He informs.

"Th-Then what's gonna happen to my fire magic that I gave you as collateral for the notebook?" Grim ask.

"Y-Yeah. And my water magic?" The Pomefiore resident ask curiously.

"Gimme back my unique magic!" The Scarabia student demands.

"Oh my, oh my. Everyone, have you already forgotten the terms of the contract?" He reminds them.

" 'In return for the notebook to counter the final exams you shall entrusts an ability you take pride in to me. If you are able to make it into the top 50 grades then I will return your ability...And give you a notebook for every test until you graduate. However, if you are unable to place in the top 50..." Azul then forms a smug and lays his hands on his hips.

"Then you will become my absolutely obedient servant until you graduate." ...You recall?" Azul reminds them.

"Based on the contract you signed, your everything to the hair on your head belong to me. That means I'm free to choose whether or not return your abilities." Azul informs.

"How's that possible?" Ace rants.

"Oh but it is. Right, Glofish?~" Azul ask spinning his head with a smug as the spotlight shines to Glory and Jack stunning the tall wolf, but the ravenette is unfazed where she kept her composure.

"Eeh! Glory!?" Ace, Deuce, and Grim all shrilled.

"Waah! It's Gothel's blood!" The Scarabia student shrieks.

"Huh? You mean Glory?!" The Heartslabyul student exclaims.

"No way..." The second Heartslabyul student mutters.

"Ack! She's gonna lock us up while we're servants!" The Pomefiore student panics.

"No idiot! She's gonna save us!" Heartslabyul student retorts.

"Oh yeah, I heard she, Riddle, and Leona are in good terms now..." The Ignihyde student assures.

"Well I don't know how she and those two dorm heads get along now, but I think she's here to save us all from that cheating bastard!" The Scarabia student assume.

"Hell yeah! Our strong goddess is save us!" The Savanaclaw student shouts.

"I agree! Please our goddess, you must save us!!" The Heartslabyul student pleads.

"Yes! You gotta get us outta here!" The other Heartslabyul agrees. With the attention now lays on Glory, Jack looked completely freaked out with his ears sprung up and sweatdrops from his head.

Jeez! That escalated quickly! And why are these idiots calling her goddess now!?

Jack thought while bewildered by the sudden attention. While everyone is pleading the mysteriously gorgeous ravenette to help them, Glory got up from her seat with her arms fold shooting Azul with grey orbs that filled with coldness as she lets out a scoff.

"You really are a calculating schemer, Azul. Is this how you win over a lady?" Glory questions as Azul chuckles and saunters over to their table plastering his charismatic smile.

"My~ Such direct words you have my darling. But it's a pleasure to meet you again, my shining Glofish. Did you came here to change your mind about our deal?" He ask with a smug, but Glory rolls her eyes and gives him the dead eye.

"I can assure you that I didn't." Glory bluntly retorts and he lets out a dramatic sigh.

"Such a letdown. I was really hoping you would, but..."

Azul then grabs her chin lifts her head to his blue eyes gleaming in desire.

"You look very stunning as always. Just like Mother Gothel. Are you trying to tempt me, Glofish? The more I see you, the more greedier I get." Azul compliments while smirking down at her. But Glory won't back down without a fight and smirks back at the slick silver haired head dorm.

"Don't try to intimidate me. Your bark is much worse than your bite." Glory snarks making Azul scoff.

"Stubborn are we? Well, that won't last long. No matter how much you say no or reject me, you will become mine. Because a man always get want he wants." He informs shocking the whole guests in the cafe.

"Eeh?!" Ace shrieks.

"Yours?!" Deuce shouts with a shock look.

"Ffgnya?!" Grim shrills.

"Eeeeeeehhhhhh?! He wants her to date him?!?" The boys shrilled with shock looks on their faces. Jack on the other hand, can feel his blood boiling through his veins as soon as he heard Azul declaring Glory as 'his' and clench his fists glaring hard at the conniving and smug Azul.

The silver haired dorm leader lets out a low chuckle as he leans to her ear.

"And I'll do everything I can to make that happen no matter what you said." Azul whispers making Glory grimace and clench her fists. And that is when it reaches the breaking point when Jack stood up and grabs Glory's arm and yank her towards him. Jack then shoots Azul with a fiery scowl.

"I've just been listening...But I can't handle of these guys!!! Including you Azul!" Jack growls while wrapping an arm around her waist protecting her like he's her guardian wolf.

"J-Jack?!" Glory stutters blinking her eyes twice.

"Eeh?!" The trio shrieked when they saw Jack.

"J-Jack?! Why're you here?" Deuce stutters, but the wolf ignore his question and releases Glory but extends his arm out in front of the ravenette when he comes forth towards the shady head dorm.

"Hearing everything about the contracts you've signed with other students makes me sick, but claiming Wildcat as your property is something I can't tolerate!!!" Jack snarls stunning Glory.

"Jack..." She mutters deeply moved by his act of kindness as Glory watches Jack scowling at Octavinelle's head dorm as he points his finger at Azul.

"Listen here! I don't know exactly what's going on between you and Wildcat, but I am not going to let you take advantage of her for your own twisted game! Not when I'm around, you pompous, cheesy, two timing sh#t talker!!" Jack growls while protecting Glory where things at the Mostro Lounge are going to get intense....
